Congrats on your first half! They get even better the more you run (I've done three halfs and one 10 mile race, and I'm moving up to a full marathon in October). This race was miserably hot (at least for me... I'm from Minnesota and with the cool April we had, I had gotten used to running early in the morning in 30 degree temps). If the temperature had been more reasonable, then you would have felt even better. My recap of the race is <a href="http://therunningdaddy.blogspot.com/2012/05/2012-lincoln-marathon-race-recap.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> Nice recap! Congrats on your first half!

You did awesome. I agree it was hot and humid, but much better than that crazy heat in Lincoln the Saturday before. Thank goodness we didn't have to run in that! Congratulations! You did awesome.

I've been anxiously waiting to hear how everything went - sounds like you picked the perfect *first* half-marathon for you! This could even convince someone else that the Lincoln race is worth a Midwestern trip ;) So happy for you, and thrilled to hear the pride in your words along with the excited oomph to go for #2.

Paxon Reyes Sun, 06 May 2012 04:04:01 +0000 http://melsidwell.com/?p=4036#comment-6330 I'm excited for you. I almost ran a half marathon many years ago, trained up to 10 miles. But six months before the race I caught a cold that weakened the cartilage in my chest and all the coughing finally inflamed it so much that I couldn't even hop because it hurt so much. It took two months to recover from the illness but I never got the miles back. You're making me want it again. Cheers, Melanie! I’m excited for you.

Yeah no I am not running it. But I did a couple years ago, and they gave me two Rox tickets, beer, hot dogs and we all got to run on the field for the last leg of the 5K. Go easy on the hot dogs. Cause yeah, just go easy on them. Anyhow, Nate ran it, too. I would run it this year, but I just really never want to run long distances ever again. Cause it hurts. My knees. And my pride. Good for you doing this running challenge. Awesome. When you're done, I dare you to try a CrossFit class. I bet you'd love it. I do. Miss you too! Happy mom day. :) Hi. Yeah no I am not running it.
